At night, when Stella was in a sound sleep, the phone which was placed on the bedside table suddenly
rang.
With her eyes closed, she stretched out to rummage for the phone. Clarence grabbed her hand and
tucked it back under the quilt. There was a trace of tiredness in his voice as he spoke, “Leave it alone
and sleep."
Stella said, “Don't make a fuss. What if something happened?"
With that, she got out of Clarence's arms, picked up her mobile phone. Seeing that the call was from
Sherry, she turned around to look at Clarence who was still sleeping, went out of the bedroom, and
answered the call in whisper, “Sherry, what's wrong?"
At the other end of the phone, Sherry said in a trembling voice, “Stella, I... I’m bleeding. Could it be that
the result of the previous examination was inaccurate, and my period was delayed?"
Hearing that, Stella became sober instantly. She quickly said, “It may be threatened abortion. Don't
move. I'll come over right away."
"Then... Then I'll wait for you at home."
"Okay, don't be afraid, nothing will happen."
After hanging up the phone, Stella went back to the room. She didn't even have the time to change her
clothes. She put on her underwear, picked up a coat and prepared to go out.
As soon as she turned around, Clarence's voice came, “It’s at midnight. Where are you going?"
"Sherry has an accident. I have to take her to the hospital. You can continue to sleep..."
Before Stella had finished speaking, Clarence got out of the bed, “Change your clothes. I'll send you
there."
"But…"
"Don't talk nonsense. You will have changed your clothes if you don’t waste time on saying this."
Stella thought so, so she stopped talking nonsense and went to the cloakroom to get her clothes.
When she just started to change, Clarence said, “I'll drive and wait for you downstairs."
"Okay."
After changing her clothes, Stella hurried downstairs.
When she reached the gate of the community, Clarence's car stopped in front of her.
There were not too many cars at midnight. And after only twenty minutes, the car stopped downstairs
at Sherry's house.
Stella unfastened her seat belt and said, "I'll pick up Sherry. You shall wait for me here"
Clarence hummed an answer, his voice lazy.
When she arrived at Sherry's house, Stella noticed that Sherry’s face was pale and asked with worried,
“Sherry, how are you? Can you walk?"
Sherry nodded, “I can."
Stella supported her, “Let’s go. Clarence is waiting for us downstairs."
Sherry, “..."
Noticing her pause, Stella asked, "What's the matter?"
"I suddenly feel that it doesn’t seem to be that serious. It's just like my period is coming. I just used a
sanitary pad."
Stella asked angrily, "What’s in your mind?"
Sherry smiled weakly, “I think it's not good to trouble Mr. Conrad at midnight. It’s scary."
"Hurry up."
On the way to the hospital, Sherry kept leaning his head on Stella's shoulder, looking melancholy.
Stella didn’t know whether it was because of physical discomfort or her bad mood.
When they arrived at the hospital, Stella took Sherry directly to the emergency department.
After sending her to the doctor's office, Stella finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her knitted brows were
not relaxed.
Clarence rubbed her head, "Don't worry. She will be all right."
Stella nodded and held up his hand, “It’s enough for me to accompany here. You can go back to sleep.
You have to work tomorrow."
Clarence had been busy these days and had not had enough time to sleep. Due to the accident
tonight, he couldn’t sleep for long.
As soon as Stella finished the words, she saw a person running towards them from the corridor.
Daniel stood in front of them panting, “How is Sherry?"
Seeing him, Stella was a little surprised. She subconsciously looked at Clarence, but Clarence just said
lightly, “I asked him to here."
Stella retracted her gaze and said to Daniel, “She’s having an examination inside. Maybe we have to
wait for a while."
Daniel said, “Sorry for troubling you."
Stella was confused, “Is it trouble? Sherry is my friend. This is what I should do."
Daniel opened his mouth and was lost for words for a moment.
Clarence held up Stella's hand and sat in the chair next to him.
As time passed, Daniel couldn’t remain calm. He kept hovering in front of them with his brows tightly
knitted, seeming to be pondering something.
A few minutes later, Clarence said unhurriedly, “What's the use of worrying about her here? Why didn’t
you take care of her early?"
Daniel, “..."
What was Clarence’s standpoint to criticize him?
Right at this moment, the door of the clinic was opened.
The doctor said, “Which one is the patient's family?"
When Stella was about to stand up, Daniel walked over in strides, “I am. How is she?"
"It’s threatened abortion. Luckily, it is not serious. I prescribed some medicine for her. Remember to
take the medicine on time after coming back. She shouldn't get out of bed these days. She should have
a good rest. Anyway, the early stage of pregnancy requires great attention. You, as her husband,
should be more careful.”
Daniel pressed his lips together and said nothing.
The doctor gave him the bill, “Okay, pay the fee and take the medicine."
Daniel reached out to take the bill, “Thank you."
Looking at his back, Stella breathed out a long sigh. She then went into the clinic to help Sherry out,
“Do you still feel uncomfortable."
Sherry shook her head, “It's not a big problem Maybe I was scared before."
The doctor, who was next to them, said, “Threatened abortion can be a big or small problem. But this
problem can’t be ignored. You should lie on the bed after coming back and let your husband send food
and water to you during these days.”
Sherry was shocked, “When did I have a husband."
The doctor, “…"
The doctor looked at Stella and asked with puzzlement, “Isn’t the one who hurried to pay the bill her
husband?"
Stella laughed awkwardly, "Yes... But they haven’t gotten married yet."
"Oh, it's her boyfriend." He sighed again, "Little girl, I should tell you, you’d better not get pregnant
before marriage. This is risky. If your boyfriend is a good man, everything will be fine, but if he’s a..."
Stella quickly interrupted him, "Thank you, doctor. We have to go first."
She then quickly supported Sherry to leave.
In the corridor, Sherry asked in a low voice, "Was he talking about Daniel just now."
Stella nodded slightly, “He's here."
Sherry didn't know what to say, and could only be silent.
Soon, Daniel came back after paying the fee.
He walked up to Sherry, “I took the medicine."
Then he said to Stella and the man behind her, “Ms. Radomil, Mr. Conrad, thank you for your help
tonight. You can leave the rest to me."
With that said, he took Sherry from Stella.
Sherry stopped him subconsciously, “Eh..."
Daniel grabbed her arm, “The doctor said you can’t make big movements."
When Stella saw this, she wanted to say something. But Clarence put his arm around her shoulders
and said lightly, “Let’s go back."
After walking a few steps with his arm around her shoulders, Stella turned around with worried, yet only
to see Sherry waving at her.
Stella said, "Sherry, I will come to see you tomorrow."
Clarence's voice sounded near her ear, “What are you looking at? The person she needs now is not
you, “
Stella, “..."
